  2. 1. Provide an experience. • Experience must be meaningful & in which all participated: • school experience • book read aloud • field trip

  3. 2. Talk about the experience. • Students & teacher discuss experience: • to generate words/vocabulary • to review the experience • to extend their understanding • Ask open-ended questions.

  5. 3. Record the dictation (cont.). • About teacher’s writing: • Write neatly. • Preserve as much student language as possible. • Keep editing of word choice & grammar to a minimum.

  6. 3. Record the dictation (cont.). • For individual texts: • Take dictation until child finishes or hesitates. • When child hesitates, reread what has been written & encourage child to continue.

  7. 3. Record the dictation (cont.). • For group texts: • Children take turns dictating sentences. • After writing each sentence, teacher rereads it.
